Description

Newspapers report the Collinsville bank had failed (closed) about two months before the April 1927 explosion and a federal receiver (John Dykes) was in charge. There is no mention of a depositor run; the later event is an explosion that wrecked the defunct (already-closed) bank building. I infer the bank remained closed and in receivership at time of blast.
